Decent course

Greens were in excellent condition when we played rest of the course could do with a trim and didn’t look like it had been done in a little while but to be fair green staff were on with this, nice and friendly in the shop prior to play.

Great Course for Everyone

Played Hobson for years and always enjoyed it. Lately, they’ve gotten rid of the heavy rough areas and replaced them with trees.

The layout is great for all types of players and you can hit some of you’re best scores here.

Very nice course

Played a 4 ball first time here, staff were very friendly and helpful on arrival, made us all feel welcome. It was a lovely day, the course was in very good condition and the greens ran true. There was no pressure from anyone behind us and the day went perfect. Will definitely play here again.

Hobson golf

The course should have not been on water all over the course very very wet

The damage they do to course will take a lot of time to repair two fairways and two green closed off

Today's golf

Firstly the course was wet and boggy in various positions around greens and tee boxes ,which is what to expect with the current rainfall we've had lately....the course layout was very nice and greens were very good and interesting....some of the fairways were marked to not play from and had to pick your ball up and place in the light rough as to protect the fairways....which was annoying but understandable....I would like to play it in the summer as I think it's a very nice and great value for money.£17. I've played many courses for a good £10 more in bad condition....so for me I'd recommend it ,

Credit to green staff too for the upkeep .

A decent knock.

I feel bad writing this but this course just felt kind of bland. It was in good condition and the greens were excellent but having recently played Whitburn and Barnard Castle I think I've been a little spoiled. It just didn't have the wow factor and felt like a bit of a slog. Considering the time of year the course was in excellent condition and the greens were superb. Very friendly pro in the shop and everyone we saw was very welcoming.

Cold wet but great

Cold because it was cold. Wet because it’s been raining. Dry patches to be found easily for drops. Greens in great condition.
